Chapter 136 Failed Unauthorized Seizure

"This is Tartarus, a resort I own," Caesar's gentle voice came. "Little one, having a nightmare?"

Ning Shuyin's gaze slowly focused, and she realized that it wasn't just Situ Linchen and Caesar.

Luo Lan and Zhou Zhiheng were also in the ward. Whether sitting or standing, their eyes were all focused on her.

Why are you all here?

what happened?

Ning Shuyin tried to recall what happened before she lost consciousness. A throbbing pain shot through her head.

She only remembered that in her last conscious moment, she saw the latest completeness of the mental chains.

[Mental Chain Integrity: 99.98%], just one step away from 100%.

The amount absorbed this time was indeed enormous. Perhaps that's why it was so painful. She only remembers fainting from the pain.

Then, she entered that nightmare. Thinking about this, her brows furrowed slightly.

This subtle movement revealed her vulnerability, causing the four men in the room to focus their gazes even more intently on her.

The girl, who had just woken up from her coma, had her long hair casually spread on the snow-white pillow. Her face was pale, except for her lips, which were tinged with rosy red, like plum blossoms falling in the snow.

Her bright eyes were just now misty with tears, making one instinctively want to hold her in their arms.

But Ning Shuyin's expression after she regained consciousness clearly showed that she did not want them to get close.

The dream in my mind hasn't faded yet.

Thinking of the dream, and their heinous acts in it, she glanced at the four innocent culprits in the room with extreme displeasure.

Her resentful glance immediately created an awkward atmosphere in the ward.

The four men looked at each other, seemingly trying to find clues as to who had offended her.

They even tried to find the answer in her eyes, only to discover that the way she looked at them was extremely unfriendly.

They hadn't offended her, had they? But something didn't seem right. The four of them suddenly remembered what had happened when they first started dating, and it seemed they had indeed offended her.

Is it possible that they're suddenly going to settle scores later?

Loran coughed lightly, breaking the awkward silence.

He reviewed her health data on the personal terminal and said, "You were unconscious for two days. The reason was an impact from abnormal energy, which led to both mental and physical exhaustion. You will need to rest well for a while afterward."

"Okay, I understand." She composed herself, suppressed the terrible emotions from her dream, and sat up.

As soon as her back left the bed, Situ Linchen reached out and placed a soft cushion behind her waist so she could lean against it.

At almost the same time, Caesar on the other side reached out. Seeing that the cushion had already been taken and placed by Situ Linchen, he turned his hand in the air and pulled the thin blanket that had slipped off her back to her shoulder.

Loran took in the actions of the two men, gave a faint snort, and said nothing, returning his gaze to the data on the medical equipment: "Caesar said you were unconscious when he found you. Where did your memory stop? Where did that high-dimensional particle go?"

Ning Shuyin closed her eyes briefly: "Back then..."

She was thinking about how to answer.

She definitely couldn't reveal that she had absorbed the high-dimensional particles.

If the Alliance deems her unsafe, they can simply throw her into some remote, cosmic crevice.

“When I went through the jump portal, it became very large. So I threw it out.” Ning Shuyin slightly avoided everyone’s gaze, deliberately showing some lingering fear. “As a result, when it reached the outer space, it was annihilated like positive and negative colliding. After that, I passed out.”

Those people didn't show any doubt in their eyes when they heard this.

Caesar has already told Ning Shuyin that she took the particles and planned to destroy them by herself.

Several men nearly beat Caesar up. Partly because Caesar hadn't protected her properly.

On the other hand, they all sensed that Ning Shuyin wanted to leave the chance of survival to Caesar and go to her death herself.

Their jealousy burned even brighter.

Loran's diagnosis just now confirmed that she suffered a massive energy shock. If it was dimensional annihilation, that would indeed be the most reasonable explanation.

"Marshal, I will have the extraterrestrial navigation management organization permanently close that jump tunnel," Caesar said. "You'd better also have the Alliance permanently close all the roads adjacent to that tunnel."

Situ Linchen nodded in agreement.

Zhou Zhiheng didn't speak, but gave Caesar a rather displeased look.

It was because he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead just as he was speaking.

This action drew everyone's attention to his wrist in the ward.

There's a chain hanging there.

It was a silver bracelet, clearly designed for a girl. The clasp was broken, but it was held together by an expensive, rare metal chain. It was now shimmering with tiny sparkles as Caesar moved.

Situ Linchen's pupils contracted.

He recognized the bracelet; he had seen Ning Shuyin wear it with his own eyes.

Zhou Zhiheng's purple eyes also darkened as he considered all the possibilities of the bracelet appearing on Caesar's wrist.

Each one of them made him extremely unhappy. But he quickly suppressed his emotions.

For him, there are many ways to get something.

The most direct way is through superpowers, but you have to choose the right time and place; you can't just openly rob someone now.

“Mr. Caesar,” Loran said directly, “forgive my bluntness, but your current state of damage to your sea of ​​consciousness is not suitable for wearing this bracelet.”

"Oh? Is that so?" Caesar lowered his hand, a provocative smile playing on his lips. "Since when damage to the sea of ​​consciousness prevents one from wearing jewelry?"

Ning Shuyin's cheeks suddenly flushed pink.

She had no idea how the pain transfer bracelet ended up in Caesar's hands after she fainted.

She quickly opened the system panel and took a look. She found that the item, which could be used three times, now had [Remaining uses: 2].

It turns out it's already been used once.

Without a doubt, it was used once while she was unconscious.

The thought of the prop's effects made her gaze towards Caesar waver.

Forget about diverting the pain.

But that so-called body fragrance... she could only pray that Caesar had a bad nose and wouldn't smell it.

This prop can be used twice more, so the most urgent thing is to get it back.

“Um… Caesar,” she said somewhat guiltily, pointing to his wrist, “thank you for keeping this chain safe for me, can you give it back to me now?”

As soon as she spoke, the other three men all showed different expressions.

Some cast "Don't flatter yourself" glances at Caesar. Others offered mockery or sympathy, while still others let out low, suppressed chuckles.

"Of course, here you go." Caesar's eyes looked a little aggrieved, but he still generously took off the bracelet and handed it back to her.

But just as he handed it over, Zhou Zhiheng suddenly reached out and intercepted it.

Ignoring Caesar's eyes, which were instantly filled with rage, he fiddled with the chain between his fingertips.

He examined the broken clasp closely, his gaze settling precisely on the precious metal connecting chain that Caesar had clearly added later: "This isn't the original bracelet; it could easily scratch her skin."

Zhou Zhiheng looked disgusted, used a little force with his fingertips to remove the precious metal chain, and casually tossed it back to Caesar.

After doing all this, he gently placed the bracelet into Ning Shuyin's outstretched palm.

Taking the chain, Ning Shuyin looked at Caesar's disappointed face.

She seemed to think for a moment, then added, "If you really want it, I can give it to you in the future."

If the item doesn't disappear after its three uses, it will simply become a decoration. Ning Shuyin thought she'd be a good person and give it to him.

These words brought a smile back to Caesar's face, and successfully darkened the expressions of the other three men.

"By the way, was your sea of ​​consciousness injured by that apostle?" Ning Shuyin asked Caesar.

She just heard Lorraine say something.

"Do you need me...?" She was thinking that Caesar was injured while saving her, and if he needed resonance therapy, she could cooperate.

Ning Shuyin hadn't even uttered the words "resonance" yet.

"no!"

Three different voices rang out in unison.

The first to speak was Loran: "Your body has just been exposed to a dangerous substance. To undergo high-risk resonance healing is tantamount to suicide."

“I’ve been there, so let me share my experience,” Situ Linchen cleared his throat and continued, “This kind of injury can be temporarily stabilized with medicine, and can also be healed with purification crystals, without needing resonance at all.”

How could Caesar possibly get the treatment he himself hadn't even enjoyed?

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Zhiheng.

Zhou Zhiheng glanced at Situ Linchen with some annoyance and said, "You've already used mine. The Alliance auction is in a month, and you were supposed to buy one to return to me. Now, let him buy it himself. Just don't compete with Caesar for it."

The men settled the treatment details there, while Ning Shuyin received a notification from the system.

[Host, we have detected that you rescued Caesar, an important male supporting character in the story, from danger. As a reward, you will receive 1 "One-Time Transportation Ticket".]

[Item Effect: When facing a life-or-death situation, you can tear open this ticket and you will be teleported to a random safe location.]

Ning Shuyin was overjoyed; she had gained another life-saving tool. But upon seeing the item's effect, she became worried again.

"System, what do you mean by 'random safe location'? It's not going to teleport me to some weird place, is it?"

[Host, being able to stay alive is already a blessing; please don't ask for too much.]

Ning Shuyin felt that it made sense.

She came to her senses, and the men were already discussing returning to the Alliance.

"Now that everything is alright, I'll send her back to the Alliance." Situ Linchen began instructing Mu Ze to prepare to dispatch a starship.

"Wait a minute," Caesar's voice rang out.

His demeanor remained that of an untamed king from beyond the realm, his azure eyes sweeping over Situ Linchen.

"Marshal, if I remember correctly, Ning Shuyin had just shared her location with you when we were ambushed by the mechanical race."

"Now, you still want her to go back on your ship?"

Situ Linchen's face darkened.

Zhou Zhiheng and Luo Lan also looked at Situ Linchen. Although they didn't say anything, they both had doubts.

"This communication leak does prove that there are other problems within the alliance besides the You family," Situ Linchen frankly admitted. "But my Starship is definitely the safest place right now."
